The night before the national final, Narumiya lowers his head to his teammates and surprises everyone. Next day, Narumiya walks on to the Koshien mound, motivating Sawamura to practice harder as he watches it on TV. Later, an unfamiliar man comes to observe Seido's practice.
Just between you and me, I can't ask 
the first-years to do something so hard.
Sowas Schwieriges kann ich von denen
aus dem ersten Jahr nicht verlangen.
Ça reste entre nous, mais tu es le seul
à qui je peux confier ce boulot.
Só entre nós, não posso pedir para 
os calouros fazerem algo tão difícil.
